Shalden Shalden Shalden Shalden 1.0 PARISH Shalden 2.0 HUNDRED Odiham 3.0 NGR 469300 141700 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Shalden is at a junction of three minor roads but it is missed by the major route through the parish, the B3349 (New) Odiham Road. Shalden Lane leads from the south-west uphill into the settlement from the B339 but takes a right angled turn before reaching the parish church where it dog-legs to the north en route to Shalden Green, 1.5 km north of the settlement. Five hundred metres north-east of the church Manor Farm marks the position of a road junction and it is from here that Southwood Road leads off south- south-east to join with the New Odiham Road (B3349). 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 & 5) Church, manor house and farms + possible regular row 6.1. Church, manor house and farms There was a Medieval parish church at Shalden but one is left to speculate as to its date of origin and architectural characteristics. The Tithe Map (Map 3) shows it to have been a little to the south-west of the present building with a south porch and, possibly, a north chapel. Shalden Manor (house) is c. 250m north-east of the church. The present structure is said to be mid-C19 and it is not listed but HTS (6: 299) asserts that it conforms in plan to a building that stood on this site in 1769. The C19 rebuilding might have been cosmetic alteration only. Unfortunately, the real age and pedigree of the building remains to be resolved but the SMR records the discovery of a tessellated Roman floor within 200m to the north-west. The reported find spot is not convincing and in reality it might be much closer to the house (see comments under Paragraph 10.0, No. 6 as amended). It is therefore possible that Shalden Manor is a Medieval manor house site associated with a Romano-British predecessor. The right angled turn in the road near to the church might be respecting the position of an earlier building though this hypothesis is not entirely convincing (see Paragraph 6.3). 6.1.1 Shalden Farm if effectively a part of the same complex as Shalden Manor. To the north-east (c. 100m), Manor Farm is at the junction of Shalden Lane and Southwood Road. Its name is misleading, for it was once known as Gregory’s Farm. The farmhouse is C16 and there are earthworks east of the farmyard (Paragraph 11.0, No. 7). It is another candidate for the site of the Romano-British building but since Manor Farm is not its original name, the SMR record might be a reference to another set of buildings, perhaps Shalden (manor) Farm. On the east side of Shalden Lane, Shalden Lodge is C16, and C13 / C14 pottery has been found close by (Paragraph 10.0, No. 30A). The Lodge is situated amongst ridge and furrow field systems (Paragraph 10.0, No 30B; Paragraph 11.0, Nos 2, 3 & 5). It should be noted that Clover Farm, east of the church, is largely C20 and it is not shown on the Tithe Map. IH/99 428 Shalden Shalden 6.2 Regular row There is a double regular row of property plots in Southwood Road. On the south side, these spill around the corner south-west into Shalden Lane and from the evidence of site inspection they were set out on the margins of a field that had been cultivated in ridge and furrow fashion (Paragraph 11.0, Nos 2, 3 & 5). Some of the property bounds, as shown on the Tithe Map, are serpentine having been laid out upon the selions (Map 3). The Tithe Map also shows that a number of the plots were empty in 1841, and it is possible that there had been some settlement shrinkage here. More probable is that these plots represent later Medieval or early post-medieval quit rent tenancies (see East Hampshire Survey 2: 192) with each tenant working a toft and a croft. In this case it would have been an attenuated row. 6.2.1 On the north side of the road, the plots are smaller and more regular and these must be of later origin, probably C18. There is one exception though, and that is The Old Forge at the north side of the junction with Shalden Lane. This was in an irregular plot that faced onto Manor (Gregory’s) Farm. The present buildings are listed as C19 but an earlier date of origin is credible. The earthworks of the boundary are visible still. 6.3 The Shalden road network On the north side of Southwood Lane, midway between the row, the unmetalled Stancombe Lane leads off north-eastwards where it provides access to routes to Alton. To the south-west the road can be traced back as far as Wield. HTS 6: 297 cites a C18 source that maintained that the road led from Stancombe to Shoreditch, adding that neither of these places can now be identified. The potential for that investigation is not relevant here, but with the aid of the Tithe Map (Map 3) it is possible to suggest that Stancombe Road once crossed Southwood Lane emerging at an abandoned junction at Shalden Lodge. From here, it continued past the southern edge of the churchyard downhill to Bentworth. This route is fossilised as public footpaths. In this model, the present southern stretch of Shalden Lane would be a replacement; there would have been no right angle turn at the church but instead a crossroads. Within Shalden it raises some complicated questions about an earlier arrangement of roads that requires further study. 6.4 Site visit condition: overcast (2.3.99) 7.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL (Map 4) 7.1 AsAP 7.1.1 Most of the Shalden Lane properties are within an AHAP. The exceptions are: An extension into the field south of the churchyard which may include a part of the old routeway to Bentworth; a parcel of land between The Old Cottage and Shalden Lodge that might have been always vacant but nevertheless fronts onto the lane; the lane frontage between Greenmount and Southwood Lane where there is vacant road frontage; the Old Forge and land to the north that includes an irregular boundary , possibly of late Medieval date; IH/99 429 Shalden Shalden land north of Manor Farm (Gregory’s) extends the context of this C16 property; a dotted (optional) extension south-west of Shalden Manor that might include Romano-British remains. All of the above are AAPs. 7.1.2 Many of the Southwood Road property plots have become the sites of C20 housing and their archaeological potential has diminished. There is a small C20 estate that is not represented on base maps 4 & 5 but its location has been represented by diagonal shading on Map 4. Waverley Cottage is of interest. The fabric betrays signs of extensive modification to the roof line. In 1841 it stood within an irregular linear plot. 7.2 AsHAP This takes up both sides of Shalden Lane from the churchyard where there are the foundations of a Medieval church, to C16 Manor Farm (once Gregory’s Farm) inclusive. Other properties within the AHAP are Shalden Manor (probably earlier than C19), Shalden Lodge C16, and Greenmont (C16 / 17). Much of the Shalden Lane frontage is afforded High Potential status. Shalden is largely a Medieval settlement that has already produced finds of this period (Paragraph 10.0, No. 30A). In addition there are the remains of ridge and furrow field systems and of a Romano-British building. 8.0 CHURCH & CHURCHYARD St Peter & St Paul, 1865 (architect: J Colson) Shalden parish church is afforded just three lines in Pevsner & Lloyd (1967). It stands at 175m AOD near to the crest of a south-west facing spur. The rest of the settlement is north-east of, and higher than this. Medieval church, allegedly Saxon, was demolished c. 1865. Its site was c. 20m south of present church. The graveyard at this point is uneven. C15 font in present church. 9.0 BUILDINGS (Map 4) PRN Details Dates Grade * Aylesfield Farmhouse, Froyle Road C17, 19, 20 II * Church of St Peter & St Paul (rebuilding on old site) 1863 II * The Thatched Cottage, Shalden C17 (restored) II 549 The Old Cottage, Shalden C18, 19 II * Shalden Lodge, Shalden C18, 19 II * Shalden Lodge: garden wall including service building C19 II * Green Mount Cottage, Shalden C17 (restored) II * Shalden Farm: barn 50m north-west of C18 (restored) II * Honeycombe Cottage, Shalden C19, 20 II * Manor Farmhouse, Shalden C16, 19, 20 II* (formerly Gregory’s Farm) * Manor Farmhouse: stable 10m north of C19 (restored) II * The Old Forge, Shalden C19, 20 II IH/99 430 Shalden Shalden NB Waverley Cottage, Southwood Road C18 or earlier not listed IH/99 431 Shalden Shalden 10.0 SMR DATA SW 469000 141000, NE 470500 144000 (Map 4) SU 64 SE No. **m 6 469230 141980 Roman. Foundations of a building found in 1854. The accuracy of this location is open to doubt. Local tradition puts the site at or near the farm buildings (HTS 6: 297) and this is far more plausible. Another possibility is that the site is at Shalden Manor. It was substantially rebuilt in the mid-C19, which might have been the occasion of the alleged discovery of the tessellated pavement in 1854, and the Manor is much closer to the site of find as given here.

  • Re-Organisation Proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS)
    Re-organisation proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS) Due to financial difficulties in the Diocese of Winchester, plans are being considered at the moment for a re-organisation of the North Hampshire Parish Boundaries, of which the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden, within the Deanery of Alton, is a part. If agreed upon, this would make the saving of one stipendiary post (vicar), as the individual BLMS parishes will be merged with already existing parishes. The proposal is that the parishes of Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden will merge with the Parish of the Resurrection in Alton and the parish of Medstead with the Parish of the Good Shepherd, Four Marks. This is part of the consultation process which will be ongoing in the next months. There is an information pack issued by the Diocese of Winchester which gives more information about the proposals for the Deanery of Alton. Please read those additional papers which should be on this web site. An important aspect of how churches are managed is called governance. The governance options for the present BLMS churches are that, when joining the parish in Alton or Four Marks respectively, they could: a) Remain as Parish Churches b) Become individual ‘Chapels of Ease’ c) Convert to ‘Festival Churches.’ In remaining a Parish Church, it retains its PCC; its burial, baptism and wedding rights and the obligation to pay its parish share (known here as the CMF). Description of ‘Chapel of Ease’ A chapel-of-ease can have any number of services (a minimum of 6 is recommended), but does not normally (traditionally) have burial, baptism or wedding rights, though the Bishop could licence it for such.

HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.
